I guess I'll have to start doubling my trips to make up for it or go to La. more than I do now. That'll be a good excuse to use on the lil lady. lol

Most of the fishery here is in great shape esp. the Galveston Bay complex and Sabine area. The Matagorda area seems to be the area that is in question and getting this started. From what I've heard there's not a lot of evidence that supports a reduction. I know a lot of people release their fish, but I'm one that likes to eat fish and I go fishing to catch and keep them esp with my limited trips. I've also let a ton of em go that were legal to keep. I say let it stay at 10. I've actually been catching more and bigger the last couple years than I did when I first moved here in '02. It really hurts when I gotta let go a 14 7/8 incher when I'm keeping them. Got used to 25 and 12 when I lived in La.
